Suitable for the entire family. From the Dust Jacket: "In this hilarious portrayal of one of the most difficult discussions faced by parents, award-winning author-artist Babette Cole turns her talents to the age-old question asked by every child: Where do babies come from? Mom explains that you can make babies out of sugar and spice, grow them from seeds, or squeeze them from tubes, while Dad says you can find them under rocks or have them hand-delivered by dinosaurs. Amused by their parents' silly answers, the children decide to set their parents straight, and in a series of zany diagrams they show the adults exactly where babies come from." Original glossy, pictorial, laminated boards (with cover art same as on the Dust Jacket). First Printing of the First Edition . Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Unpaged (but 32pp).
